Oil in intake manifold

Started pulling stuff off to adjust my valves today and I noticed that there is some oil pooled inside my intake manifold. Has anyone had this problem? Car has 105k...

It's not a problem, it's normal.

Yep normal. Anyone who's installed theromblok spacers has found that as well.

I saw oil on mine when I cleaned my EGR...I use a towel to pick up the oil before I loose those nuts/bolts so it will not drain down to the lower manifold...

Thats good to hear :-). I thought something was wrong but I cleaned it out anyways. Theromblok spacers sound like a good idea since the manifold gets pretty hot normally but damn, I should have ordered it before doing this!
